Fickleness of my mind resides here

Just thought since its been too long since I blogged I might as well try blogging once again.. So much has happened since I last wrote anything... 

For starters, I moved again.. left Bangalore (one of the most wonderful cities I have ever lived in..) and shifted to Pune..Been about 4 months since I moved and so I haven't had the chance to really see this city.. Anyways, since I moved from Bangalore; goes without saying that I left Oracle India as well.. Fun place that .. made some really great friends there..Miss them tonnes...The early morning Tea. sometimes breakfast with the team at 7:00 AM... Oh! I remember the Buffet breakfast at  "The President" in Jayanagar.. that was something. 

Since I am talking about changes recently.. the biggest change has been the fact that I am married now.. WOW.. 

umm.. zillions of things running through my mind right now.. cant seem to concentrate and pen down even one of them.. Anyways.. just wanted to make my presence felt again.. write .. start the cycle all over again .. 

lets wait and see what else I can come up with soon..

I guess I answered my own question : To write or not to write.... ???? Ans: WRITE

Stay Tuned

I just wanted to note this conversation I had with a dear friend of mine a few days ago.. Seemed like a very interesting conversation to just forget about.. 

kirti: I was thinking about this.. 

  risk.. 

  what makes risk so risky... 

  is it uncertainity

  or is it the stakes are high.. 

  or is it something else.. 

me: its the adrenaline.. of when things start going topsy turvy.. and when you put in all you got to make it work your way .. 

  the excitement then ..

  and then when it works out.. you boast about having taken a calculated risk...

Found this something I should remember.. and keep a note of..

I do not understand why India or Indians think that Obama is wrong in his approach to bring up the economy of his country. After all he is trying to do better for his people. Why should he be bothered about what effect his decisions would have on India or China or any other country for that matter?

Is India not strong enough a country.. or our Economy so dependent on the US of A to keep us afloat? We have abundant resources, we have more manpower than Obama's country. Then why do we Indians think that his policies on tax cuts for companies ensuring jobs in US or for US citizens going back to work will have that big an impact on us ?

I understand that we have a VERY BIG BPO industry which will be severly affected, but then our country did have jobs before the BPO's came into existence. I see MBA's from great colleges and Universities in India working in BPO's. So I ask you, is it absolutely impossible for us to work anywhere else except a BPO? Is this generation of Indians not capable of working in any other industry?

We have so many Banks in our country with god knows how many branches in each State, City or town. We have so many IT companies with a gazillion jobs, Bangalore and Hyderabad are called as IT hubs in India. We have a Major Industrial manufacturing Market. A Mining market which could be count amongst one of the best in the world, and many many more industries where jobs are always there. I know that the salary package that we would get from a Multi national Company will not be close to what an Indian Company can offer, but it still keeps us afloat.

One of the most beautiful countries on the planet with more than just sight seeing to offer any of the tourists and yet we see our nationals wishing to go to Europe/US/Australia on tours. Have we all seen everything there is to see in India? Cant we experience our country before we move out?

One of the best education systems in the world, Envy of any country and we still fear that Obama's policies will bring us to dirt. 

I urge my fellow Indians to rethink their opinion about our great country and try to make a difference in our own little way. Whatever we can, however we can. We must stand up and work together towards making India the best country to live in.

I do hope that someday we can be proud about everything our country has and not just boast about our cultural values (Which most of us dont respect anyway) when someone points a finger at us.

Take a stand, this is our chance to show the rest of the world that India or Indians are not dependent on any country or its people to survive. We wont just survive, we wont just exist but WE WILL COME OUT TRUMPS, Rise like the SUN and Shine to its full glory.

I hope and pray that I live to see that day in this lifetime.
